THE WATER BONDS.

An APPEAL reporter yeste rday inter
viewed a number OF the best mer-
chants end fnRnciers Of the city as
to the probability OF the Taxing Dis
trict authorities being able to Il at the
water bonds authorized by recent act
OF the Legislature. Many of the gen
tlemen called upon had not feen the
act, and most Of those who had had
not been able to give it the study nee
essary to the forming of an opinion.
Mr.. Katzenberger, a fnancier and
broker, who is good judge OF securi-
ties, one OF three who gave their opin-
ions, ia quite satisfied the bonds can
not DO floatsd; but Mr.. I. N. snowden,
a merchant Of the highest standing,
sees no reason 10 doubt thai they will
be taken readily by foreign capitalists,
especially II the Memphis banks sub
scribe for $250,000 Of them. This, he
tSiaks, would make them 90. Mr..
Goldsmith, cashier oil the German Ma
tional Bank, than whom there Is
no better judge in tire South
of what a bond ought to be
to make it salable, has no
doubt at all that q market can be found
for every dollar Of the issue. This
statement Is as fair guarantee as
President Hsdden and the Council
could ask that the proposed water
bond viii sell az good security. No
doubt Mr.. Goldsmith could market
them himself and make handsome
thing from the commission allowed by
the act Of the Legislature. The water
bonds are not as weak as water by any
mama

An ExcitinE Meeting OF the Liberal
Federation.


LONDON, April 6.-The Council Of
the Liberal Federation met in London
today. There were numerous delegates
present from the provinces. The
President, Sir James Kitson, de-
nounoed the government as brutal,
and said that they we're trying to re-.
duce the Irish to the level of the Hot
tentot. He moved that the Federation
protest against the coercion bill az
retrograds in policy, tyrsnnical in
principle and vindictive in
detail. Admiral Make reused an
uproar by asking whether the crimes
bill was not really an snti-coerci0n
measure, aiming tn suppress the
shameful coercion of the National
League He asked which form of CO.
erCion English Liberals should sup
port II English home rulers were
consistent about governing Ireland
according to ITish IDEAS, they were
bound to let the country go, conCeding
that absolute independence which the
Nationalists wanted. An attempt was
here made to hiss down the speaker
but the Chairman ruled that the
speaker was in order. Continuing,
the speaker esid that this pursuit Of
the abstract principle Of Nationalism
would result in the abdication
of Englsnd's national RESPONSE
biliiy and cause their country
to become weak aud Insignificant aud
liable to fall an easy prey to any sd-
joining nation that cultivated strength
and consolidation while Eng a I'D oul-
tivated dissolution and decay. The
speakers concluding words were
drowned with noise. The president
motion was approved, as was also a
resolution expressing gratitude to Mr..
Gladstone for his wisdom and courage
in opposing coercive measures. The
delegates made arrangements for a

JObn Morley BenOunces the Crimes
ELL rs an Instrument OF Opprcs.

LONDON, April 8.--John Morley ad-
dressed an audience OF 5000 Liberals
at Victoria Hall, in South London,
tonight. He charged the government
with Outstanding the admins trstion
in Ireland, and denounced the crimes
bill as a hateful instrument OF oppres-
sion. The measure, he said, was in
tended to lay the tenants at the feet
Of the landlords, who, flushed with
triumph, would be spurred on by their
own needs to harsh exsciness. But
the Liberals would not desert the
Irish people. The time was when
Irishmen saw no light or liberty save
what shone across the floods OF the
great Atlantic. Now they saw a new
light nearer homs. They no longer
looked 10 the westward alone; they
looked to the eastward, too, and they
saw beacon OF hope and sympathy
from England. That beacon would
never be put out. Mr.. Morley's sreech
aroused unbounded enthusiasm.

was informed. Several Chinese guides
proposed to take us to the bottom of
the thing, but we declined, as l saw
enough exposed to daylight to satisfy
greatest curiosity without going
where daylight never comes; and
again l was told hat it was not safe to
venture into these underground dens
without having the presence and pro-
lection of the police.
Chinatown now occupies a considers
Bile portion of the city, and is enlarging
every year. For every house and
locality occupied by the Chinaman is
doomed and blighted, and other people
instinctively withdraw from them as
from pest houses. The streets are
narrow and very filthy, and most
thickly inhabited They seem to be
busy and industrious, like bees in a
hive, and but for the restraining 1nfu-
ence of law it would be as dangerous
to go near them az to a maddened
swarm of bees. The evening we pass
ed along the streets of this city in a
city chinatown in San Francisco),
the air was ZOO and bracing, and
everywhere else except where we
were, was pure and sweet, but in
Chinatown it was offensive, yea, the
air was laden with the most villainous
smells that ever offended nostrils, and
this was above ground and in spite of
the frequent additions which the
police made or caused to be made OF the
streets and premises. You a possibly
get some idea of the atmosphere
of those sublerranean dens occupied
by thousands of these miserable crea-
lures. 1 came off my evening jaunt
completely cured of all desire to see
Chinese immigration become popular,
and be allo red unrestricted. l was
told that many of the G. A. Il. people
who were in San Francisco last August
were taken through Chinatown, and
introduced to John In his native char
acter, and that in every instance an
anti Chinese convert was made and
confirmed. l was glad to get back
to my hotel, and in a few days to re-
turn to the home of my brother in
beautiful San Jose. While in San
Francisco We visited various other
places, but these have been written up
so often by others that I shall not stop
to attempt the task again. One thing
about the people of San Francisco that
caught my attention, and that was the
number and variety of foreigners. 1t
is truly a cosmopolitan city, and the
sons of every cline congregate there to
lind a delightful home and almost uni
form climate. 1 shall long retain pleas
ant recollections Of my stay in and
visit to San Francisco. 1t is q wonder
full city, situated beautifully on the
finest bay, and possesses the finest and
safest harbor on the whole Pacific
coast, and if no calamity, physical or
national, befall her, the next fifty years
will behold her the greatest city Of our
whole country outside of New York.
[ am now approaching the end Of my
visit, and the time for packing my traps
for my homeward march. But l
will tell you more-of this in my next.
So, goodbye. r.

building and report to an adjourned
meeting q week thence. When this
plan became known to the largest tax
PAYERS, who had no children for the
district school, or who chose to send
to the academy, they at once conspired
to defeat the measure by going to that
adjourned meeting a little ahead OF
time, and organize and adjourn stne die
which would render it illegal to levy a
tax without a personal notice to an
other meeting, served on every voter.
The law prescribed the annual dis
trict meeting, or one adjourned from
that, as the only meeting In which a
tax could be voted, unless every
voter should be personally notified.
These opponents adjusted their watches
for the occasion, and carried their plan
into effect, and were leaving the house
when the citizens who constituted the
annual meeting, were coming in, al
though they were on time. 1t was seen
that there would be a bitter quarrel in
law over the question of time, if the
meeting proceeded to business, so it
was decided to give personal notice to
another meeting. 1t was attempted,
and to their notification, it was dis
covered when they met that one
absentee and voter had been overlook
ed, and therefore they could no pro.
coed; and fearing that another trial
might fail for the same reason they
concluded to wait till another annual
meeting.
The most efficient trustee of the
district was Mr.. Geo. G.. Williams,
who had a brother visiting him the
next summer from Lyons, Wayne
county, N. Y, who was himself a
trustee in his town, and an earnest
friend of common schools. Mr. Geo.
Williams communicated to him the
plan OF school they were attempting to
carry out in Mt. Morris. Mr.. Williams
sought an interview with Mr.. Stone.
They met under q shade tree on Pros
pective Hill, and discussed the matter
fully. Mr.. Williams returned to Lyons
and set about the work of reconstruct
ing their town school system after this
plan. They built q large brick building
of six or more rooms, and there got in
to successful operation, probably in the
year of 1874, the first graded public
school in this country. Professor
Nathan Britain, principal of the acade-
in Rochester, N. Y, became its first
superintendent and head; and Miss
Jane Rich, of Pennfield, Monroe coun-
ty. the principal of the young ladies'
department. I was well acquainted
with Prof. Britain in Rochester, aud at
his solicitation spent . summer in his
family at Lyons, and had the honor, for
two or three months, of teaching a few
classes in Latin and Algebra in this first
graded school. One Of the pupils in
my Latin class is now q distinguished
missionary in Burmsh, the Rev. Mel
Vile Jameson, D. D..
Pittsford, l think, was the second to
establish a graded school, and Mount
Morris the third. Menden, where the
plan vas first sgitated, was mol earlier
than the fourth.
This scrap of history 10 not given
now to detract aught from the honor
due to the Hon. Mr.. Mann. He did
much for common schools and is en-
titled to distinguished confederation tor

ment; and while he may not have been
